6.11.6 PAPER REGISTRATION

The registration drive roller [A] and
idle roller [B] correct the skew of
[D]
the transferred paper to ensure that
[C]
the leading edge of the paper is
[E]
positioned correctly on the OPC.
[F]
The paper feed/development motor
[A]
[C] drives the registration
mechanism.
The registration sensor [E] is
[B]
positioned just before the
registration rollers. When the
leading edge activates the
registration sensor, the registration
B004D703.WMF
clutch is off and the registration
rollers are not turning.
However, the relay clutch [F] remains on slightly longer. This delay allows time for
the paper to press against the registration rollers and buckle slightly to correct
skew.
Next, the registration clutch [D] actuates and the relay clutch re-actuates at the
proper time to align the paper with the image on the drum. The registration rollers
then feed the paper to the image transfer section.
NOTE: The registration sensor is also used for paper misfeed detection.
